c/s ec92fcd1d08, which caused the trampoline GDT Access bits to be set,
removed the final writes which occurred between enabling paging and switching
to the high mappings. There don't plausibly need to be any memory writes in
few instructions is takes to perform this transition.
As a consequence, we can remove the RWX mapping of the trampoline. It is RX
via its identity mapping below 1M, and RW via the directmap.

This probably wants backporting, alongside ec92fcd1d08 if it hasn't yet.
